Good review: Breakfast was delicious. Full breakfast for sure. Surprise benefit was complimentary shuttle service to Notre Dane. With limited parking at ND, the service was a lifesaver.” Source: Booking.com

Bad review: “I can’t in good conscience recommend this hotel. Not only do they price gauge on game day weekends and I mean almost four times their normal rates they put in a ridiculous 60 day cancellation notice. When I did call to cancel my reservation because of a family matter they didn’t even get back to me for a week because the manager was supposedly on vacation. I completely understand raising rates on big weekends but four times the amount is uncalled for. So no I would not recommend this hotel.” Source: Google.com

Located in South Bend, Indiana (USA), on the grounds of the University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame Stadium is a famous sports arena. In this article, we will look at the most important information regarding the stadium:

Originally constructed in 1930, the stadium has since undergone numerous upgrades.
Its $750,000 price tag and Osborn Engineering's design are both indicative of its high quality.
From its original 54,000 seats, the stadium is now able to accommodate a whopping 77,622 spectators.

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team plays their home games at Notre Dame Stadium, which is widely recognized as one of the best college football venues in the country. From the team's existence, every single home game has taken place there.

The stadium has seen many other uses throughout the years besides football games, such as concerts, religious ceremonies, and political demonstrations.
There have been several historic events held at the stadium, including the "Game of the Century" between Notre Dame and Michigan State in 1966, the first game of the 1994 FIFA World Cup, and a Mass celebrated by Pope John Paul II during his 1979 visit to the United States.
